Based on years of industrial experience and laboratory tests, it was found
that highly viscous liquids such as molten polymers, pastes, bitumen, varnishes,
pulps, dyestuffs, resins, tar etc. are best mixed by close-clearance agitators, i.e.
ribbon, horseshoe and screw impellers operating in a diffuser. Slightly less
popular solutions in this case appeared to be frame, scrape and screw agitators
operating without a diffuser. Among the above listed types of agitators ribbon
and screw impellers deserve the most attention. While working, they produce
high secondary circulation practically in the whole mixer irrespective of the
viscosity of liquid being stirred. High radial and axial circulation causes also that
just the last two types of impellers are most popular in practical applications.
This monograph presents a discussion of the state of experimental investigations
and theoretical studies on close-clearance impellers operating in laminar motion.
A separate problem discussed in the book is modeling of mixer hydrodynamics
and heat transfer for the impellers.
The monograph consists of segments. In the first two chapters the fundamental
notions of primary and secondary circulation in the mixer, the function of
current, current lines, circulation time, etc. used further in the book are defined.
The main properties of liquid as a continuous species are discussed there. The
three subsequent chapters present a discussion of helical ribbon, horseshoe and
screw impellers. Every impeller type is considered from the point of view of the
analysis of hydrodynamics of a mixer-impeller system, mixing time, heat transfer
coefficients, mixing power and efficiency. Depending on the impeller type, the
center of gravity of the presented analysis is shifted towards this region in which
the given impeller type is most frequently applied. The book presents numerous
tables containing dimensionless or semi-empirical equations proposed by various
authors to calculate many basic values. The tables have been critically evaluated.
Opposite to turbulent flow, mixing of highly viscous liquids proceeds always
in the laminar or deeply laminar regime which is often called the creeping flow.
Very often, highly viscous liquids are not non-Newtonian liquids. Thus, there are
problems associated with the necessity of taking into account the whole spectrum
of non-Newtonian liquids and with the analysis of mixing efficiency with respect
to energy consumption. High liquid viscosity causes that much energy is required
to drive the impeller. This is directly proportional to the viscosity of liquid.
Hence, for each type of the impeller methods to determine mean shear rates of
liquid in the mixer and to calculate apparent viscosity of non-Newtonian liquid
have been described. Because there are many types of non-Newtonian liquids,
the book is focused only on shear-thinned and viscoelastic liquids.
The last chapter of the monograph is dedicated to modeling of the mixer
hydrodynamics in laminar motion. This is a reference to modem and still more
popular methods associated with the application of CFD techniques which help
the designing process. In this chapter attention is focused on discussing various
authors' models available in the literature rather than on the discussion of
integrated packages accessible on the market. Discussion of the latter ones can
easily be found in the scientific and commercial literature.
The presented monograph is intended for students of higher years of studies
at the departments of chemical engineering, chemistry, mechanical engineering
and related ones. The monograph should be particularly helpful for students
preparing their diploma theses, providing them with appropriate literature on the
subject and for PhD students in the above mentioned departments.
Besides being helpful for students, the book can also be useful for designers
who cope in their professional work with the problems of mixing highly viscous
liquids. At present, there are no universal methods to select properly the type and
geometric parameters of an impeller according to the main goal of mixing,
viscosity of the liquid being mixed and its rheological properties.
